Summary

This private Earth dam, standing at a height of 20 feet and with a length of 400 feet, has a storage capacity of 222 acre-feet and a surface area of 7.7 acres. With a drainage area of 3.41 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 2039 cubic feet per second, this sediment pond plays a crucial role in managing sediment runoff and maintaining water quality in the region.

Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, Lb2-1 Sediment Pond poses a moderate risk (rated at 3) due to its uncontrolled spillway and lack of hazard potential assessment. While the dam's condition is not rated, it is vital for the authorities to ensure that the structure is properly maintained and monitored to prevent any potential risks of failure. Furthermore, with an uncontrolled outlet gate and no emergency action plan in place, there is a need for improved risk management measures to enhance the safety and security of the dam and surrounding areas.

In collaboration with the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, efforts should be made to address the potential risks associated with Lb2-1 Sediment Pond and implement necessary safety protocols. By conducting regular inspections, updating emergency action plans, and improving risk assessment and management strategies, the sediment pond can continue to fulfill its primary purpose effectively while mitigating any potential hazards to the environment and nearby communities.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
